Biography

Carl Mitchell aka Josephs Perception has been consistently putting out quality music on a diverse range of record labels for over ten years. Music has always been a part of his life; as a child he helped reggae sound systems like Sovereign, Saxon and Upfront set up for his mother’s legendary birthday bash, the famous blues parties and sound systems.

From about 9 years old, he took to a microphone chatting freestyle lyrics to reggae instrumentals, following on from the many vocalists in his family. This led to being invited to perform live at the tender age of 11 at the “BBCThree Counties Radio”. As he got older, rap music became an influence and he went on to win a “BBC School Competition” with it being the second time he appeared on the radio within two years.

In the early stages of the hardcore and jungle techno genre developments he was influenced by Rush FM knowing it was something he wanted to be a part of. From there he learnt to DJ and started promoting raves for under 18’s when he was 15.

Now concentrating on producing music, he is fusing his turntable skills with his knowledge of music. This has led to releasing music on Junglist Records, Physmatics Music, Reformed Records, Target Dog Records (Czech Rep), Test Press Audio (Spain), Midway Productions, Ballpark Recordings, Smooth N Groove Records, Boey Audio and Strawberry Zonk Records. He has now launched his own imprint “Dutty Zoot Recordings” with his first EP entitled “Perpetual”. This is a stunning four track EP with a collaboration track “Temper Mental” which includes his own vocals and is supported widely by the A list community within Drum & Bass.

The support goes on with his music being exported worldwide, gaining radio play on Kool London, Bassdrive, Different Drumz and also exclusive airplay on the huge platform of BBC 1Xtra boosting his profile further. His popularity is in demand with his music being remixed by Nicky Blackmarket, Voltage, Bizzy B and Joe Nebula with his own production skills being requested by Abstract Illusion, Midway and J-Matics at Physmatics Music.
